Abstract

We apply the modified variational iteration method (MVIM) for solving the singular and nonsingular initial and boundary value problems in this paper. The proposed modification is made by introducing Adomian's polynomials in the correct functional. The suggested algorithm is quite efficient and is practically well suited for use in such problems. The proposed iterative scheme finds the solution without any discretization, linearization, perturbation, or restrictive assumptions. Several examples are given to verify the efficiency and reliability of the suggested algorithm.
